There is a brand new non-pae mini-iso spun in the archive as of today.. Dang it never got the one just before it tested...
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/ Dated: 20120315 By the way where did that testing and reporting the mini.iso on the qa-tracker every land? I even read where some of the lubuntu team DID NOT want testing of the mini.iso added to the tracker??? I would ask why?? ... Since it may become a viable option for getting the non-pae kernel working. Oh well, I am going to test it anyway.. I'll just take my laptop and plug into the wire and do some multi-tasking on my desktop during the process. hmmm... maybe I will test it on my Lenovo desktop too.. nm_geo Greg On Sun, Mar 11, 2012 at 12:20 PM, Phill Whiteside <[email protected]> wrote: > Sounds fun! > > Yeah, CD sized is always good :) > > As it looks like it will be a community respin, I'm prepared to host it. > It will need some testing :) Do keep us updated with progress.
